Drummer extraordinaire Tommy Lee recently announced that his mother, Vassiliki Papadimitriou, has passed away.
"One of the loves of my life has gone. My Dear Mother has passed," Lee posted Friday on his Twitter page.
The following day, Lee sent out a musical tribute in the form of a link to the following YouTube clip of the song "Blue" from his 2002 solo album Never a Dull Moment: "This gravity is pulling me / On down / This time of change seems so strange / Don't let me go, catch me / I'm fallin . . . fallin through / If I'm not with you / All I wanna do is feel blue."
According to HearEvil, Papadimitriou gave birth to Lee in 1962 in Greece, with the family moving to California the next year.
